Interesting thing about the Avenging 10… I can’t recall if this was the case with 9, but these had actual stickers for the newsstand label. If you look at the others on eBay you can kind of see it. Yeah held it up to a light and looked at the back of the page, it just looks like art behind that sticker, not like it was laid over the normal direct edition white rectangle.

Yes, all the Avenging Spider Man #10 newsstand copies I've seen so far are stickered ones.   I own or have seen non-stickered newsstand copies of Av. Spider Man #1-9, 11,13-22, so #10 seems to be the only stickered one (I've yet to see a newsstand copy of #12).   Btw, I've been looking forever for a reasonably priced (<$100) NM newsstand copy of Daredevil #9 and *any* condition copy of Av. Spider Man #9, I lucked into both of them a couple of months ago (the Av. Spider Man copy is a VF-, but I can't complain)  :

Awesome! And thanks for continuing the subject, because I felt I had dropped the ball.

I'm still learning, it's appreciated

To that point, and I understand if they're now considered trade secrets, but

Are yall still finding these more online, rather than the wild? I remember even as last year, some where saying "honey holes" were drying up. I guess I don't need specific examples of "where" but that would be cool, but more is there still hope for someone who hasn't got a lot? Just that it's possible?  I assume we post the pics to the boards to show that, but is it more online now?

These are all in person purchases, from me.

Personally, there are very few newsstand comics I’d pay what people are asking for. I’ve seen a few newsstand specific collectors at shows in the last half year, but still most people are for whatever. The people who are serious about it, though, are like “let me show you my spreadsheet in the middle of a busy show” serious.

Frame of mind for reference, I like it, I've got some responses from the lcs of they just don't want to mess with it, to idk if it matters with this book I'll mention it regardless. Other words it doesn't always affect price, but it is worth noting for them. Less so, of when you're selling to them, more though when buying. But I feel it is somewhat Undecided for most.

Just my personal experience, I never buy newsstands at a "newsstand collector" price - I'm more of an opportunist. I personally prefer newsstands on copper books for my own collection because it's a nostalgia thing for me, but even then, if there's a key book I really want and the direct is significantly cheaper, I'll just buy that. But on modern and/or "rare" newsies, I just keep my eyes open. I can tell you there are still plenty of LCS's - at least near me - where they don't differentiate on price just because it's a newsstand (although many are increasingly hip to the game). My best luck continues to come on eBay and flea market stuff where people are selling lots and they probably aren't comic collectors, they're "collectible flippers" who run on volume and don't care to do the research. Even those are drying up, but they're still out there if you hunt. And usually when I'm buying those, I'm buying them to sell so I can fund what I really want for myself. Just my .

That's the way it was for me, I was trying to analyze if it still is

By word of mouth, since stores discuss among themselves etc

. If I mention a book is a newsstand to sell them, they don't want to deal, but usually don't sell at a premium, and that is probably why.

I've just felt less compelled to buy every newsstand, and idk if that is because the nuance has changed, or

I'm just not hearing of as many books to search for. Come to think of it, I ignored hype and spec so long that when I was priced out of most older books, nothing gold silver couldn't really ever afford them, but with moderns there is now so much coming down money wise that nows the time to search if not dried up! I'm only now realizing what's been spoken of

I guess better late than never?

Looooooooong run on sentence but I'm in a hurry

I don't want to tie up the thread. I think it's all the same, but prices are dropping. Either there are less for sale online, or the bins have already been picked through in person.

Patience. I just thank you for the feedback, that it is there, just patience

Well again, just a single example, but I just recently sold a Thundercats 23 newsstand for $30 and I bought it out of a $2 bin. The direct version usually sells for $15 or less. So I think there are still collectors out there paying a premium, but it's probably a little more book-dependent now.

Oh i have no doubt what I have might sell, no worries, yet I haven't sold

And I was just curious if I'd still find more newsies or even randoms, and it doesn't have to be cheap, which is preferred At least keep it reasonable. 

I can speak for my usual places, and it's been dried up mostly since spring for really keys of note. I assume the newsstand to be the same function in the equation, then it depends on who gets stock from where. More cathartic to read it typed out, so I'm glad I asked. 

I just needed info on where to focus, which can be regional, or whether to continue hitting: dvd stores, game shops, half price books (all may have a new rep on how they handle such) or look more online. It sounds like it may in my area have not changed, but be less available for whatever reason and if found still should be bought.

I'm like you it's what I buy and look for with my cheaper funds. I just haven't sold as much. I'd love to trade to the LCS, but as I said, their not wanting to deal with it.

99% of all my purchases including Modern Newsstands are online. Any shops I’ve visited have had a few but they’re not prevalent.

So is that Spider-Man 2099? Seemingly with the the wings or ratty linen off the arms, I never was sure what they were on 2099. Also I don't remember the Kaine, which Spider-Man that was

I'll agree seeing it today it does look good.
